WHERE I COME FROM
I was born and raised in West Vancouver and have been a resident of the North Shore my entire life. I attended Chartwell Elementary School and graduated from Sentinel Secondary. My grandparents moved to West Vancouver in the 1930's and went on to own Sinclair Dental on Bellevue in the 1970's. My mother, Patricia Sinclair, attended Pauline Johnson and West Van High. I currently live in the Eagle Harbour neighbourhood with my family.
A THRIVING CAREER
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science and History from the University of British Columbia in 1989. While attending UBC, I was president of my fraternity which was one of the highlights of my early life experience. It taught me patience, cooperation and led to my interest and eventual career in mediation. Since 2001, I have owned and operated my own mediation company based in West Vancouver and was Past President of Capilano Golf Course. Prior to this, I worked for the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia. During my eleven years there I managed a large and complex caseload of litigated personal injury claims. I worked closely with both plaintiff and defense counsel to maintain an effective working relationship to negotiate the settlement of thousands of bodily injury matters. I am a huge proponent of mediation and the benefits to all parties involved.
